How to Find All Artifacts in Black Myth: Wukong

Artifacts (Vessels) in Black Myth: Wukong are unique equipment that offer both passive and active abilities when equipped. They are quite powerful and should be used in boss encounters or when you are in a tough spot during combat. These artifacts are also rare, so you will need to put in some effort to find them.

The passive ability usually provides a general stat boost, while the active ability can be activated to provide a much stronger buff that can turn the tide of battle.
